Time now is 9:36 am and sitting in office right now. Everyone

seems to be very busy but me.

 

Yesterday had a nice chat with Andy from Wontech & Francis

from Maxwell. About 6 years of time in the CD-R and DVD-R

industry has made me seen too much of things.

 

I've witnessed :

 

1. The speed of CD-R increased from 8x to 52x ( 3 years time )

2. Dye of CD-R changed from Silver Blue to Silver Green.

3. Dye of CD-R changed from Silver Green to Silver Diamond.

4. Dye of CD-R changed from Silver Diamond back to Silver Green.

5. The Dye for CD-R remains to Silver Green as of today.

6. DVD-R ( 1x ) was at RM4 or RM5 per piece, now cost RM 0.50 ( 4x )

7. CD-R ( 8x ) was at RM 1.20 per piece, now cost RM 0.40 ( 52x )

 

As time goes on, technology becomes cheaper and we will pay less

and gain more at the same time.

 

Price of DVD-R and DVD+R is slowly decreasing from above RM 1.00

to below RM 0.80.

 

Price of CD-R in contra increased from RM 0.32 ( Lowest time ) to 

RM 0.40 and RM 0.42.

 

A lot of customer were complaining about the price hike, but :

 

1. Did they complain when the price drop?

2. Did they complain when we offer them a "super price"?

3. Did they complain when they earn a 20% margin?

4. When we sell bonus disc to them?

 

Well, back to one thing, when you are working for a company

you should always look for the mentioned company interest and

profits first.

 

Other then that, you could try to be reasonable and flexible with

customer, again must always think of company interest & profit.

 

When you give discount to customer for prices, it might not necessary

to be "harmful" or bringing "contras" to your own company.

 

When you increase price of a certain goods and earn a few hundred

more you might also not necessary doing any good and doing any

favour for your company.

 

Look and oversee a long term business should be the solution.

 

Imagine, when you give discounts ( reasonable of course ) your customer

will feel very appreciated / become aggressive to do more sales for the

rewards you've given them.

 

You've gave them the reason to fight harder and aim higher. And the most

important thing is that the spirit of them is high and they might even die

for you. Sacrifice a few hundreds ringgit and get this in return = Priceless !!

 

Different situation :

 

Try to earn a few more hundreds ringgit from a single sales transaction.  You

think you've done a good job and earn a lot of $$$$ for your company?

It might not necessary be right if you are looking at it for long term.

 

Imagine your customer has purchased some CD-R or DVD+R from you at

say RM 0.05 more expensive per piece from you. Total deal = 20,000 pcs.

Total you've earn = RM 1,000.00 for your company.

 

But when the customer learn that you've chopped his RM 1,000, and below

are the consequences :

 

1. Customer is unhappy cause you chopped his RM 1,000 for no reason.

2. Customer might become less competitive, compared to other customer.

3. Customer will lost confidence with your "honourbility".

4. Customer will try to find alternative supplier ( you are dead meat !! )

 

Worst case would be issue number 4, if customer could find an alternative

supplier which could offer a much more better price compared to you.

You would be in big trouble, cause they will keep comparing the prices

in between you two. And might as well stick to another side forever without

coming back to you. Imagine that eh !!!

 

Well, that's just some thought in the morning about what has happened

for the past few years time. And frankly I've learned a lot of things from a lot

of people and incidents.

 

The experience that I've got and learned = Priceless !!

for the past few years time. And frankly I've learned a lot of things from a lot
of people and incidents.

The experience that I've got and learned = Priceless !!

My Papa

My papa is a man !! He is aged errr.. 63 years old this year.
His wife is 9 years old younger then him.

His wife <=== My mama lar !!

And my father is good at many many things, one of them to do
funny stuff that when you see you are going to vommit blood !!
Or bang your head on the wall as hard as you can.
Or perform a two legs in the sky stuff.
Or cry until no tears.
But basically he is a good man, being serving in the education
field for about 37 years... yeah he retired as a head master.

It was 1984 or 1985 when I was 7 or 8 years old. And it was
Children Day and I've got all these junk food
( hei for me those were priceless and precious )
We've got apple, biscuits, soft drinks, sweets,
candys, chocolates and stuff like that.

The most happy thing was too see 2 pack of Mammee Mee that you
know, we just open and eat them. I think it's still call
Mammee Instant Mee or something like that.

We love Mammmee Instand Mee cause we could eat it anytime
anywhere. And the MSG they provided was superb in taste.
( no worry about hair lost during those time )

I went home and put my "precious" Mammee Mee on the table
and finished my homework like a good boy and went to sleep
at the night.

Second morning, my Papa woke me up and asked me to eat
my breakfast, I was blur blur cause we never had breakfast
at house in the morning.

Looked at the breakfast, then I straight away 2 legs in the
sky. OMG my father has cooked my Mammee Mee which meant to
be taken like crispy chips and enjoy the "Kerangupan Yang
Tidak Terhingga !!"

Now my Mammee Mee lied in the bowl, liveless and crispless
looking at me. I eye filled with tears while my heart was
bleeding non stop.

I took the bowl, drink the soup and eat the pathetic noodles
one shot !!! Bye bye my crispy Mamme Mee !! bye bye !!

My father looked at me, cause I looked very Kek Sim like that
and asked me : " What !!???? "

I just shaked my head and proceed to the school.

Got to tell you more about this unique person.

And yes Papa and Mama I love you.

Tremos? Evacuate? My Pants?

Time was 12:15 am when I received a call from Fane Yuan and she
asked me :" Wei ! did you feel any earth quake?"

I was like :" Huh? "

I looked at Fat Lady she was asleep like an elephant.....koook, piu, kooook, piu, koooooook, piu, where got earthquake? Proabaly Fat Lady quake adalah !!! GNN !

Fane :" We are at Klang now and it was really strong here !!"

I replied :" Nope, feel nothing here at Puncak Damansara Condo !"

Then fat lady woke up due to my conversation and went for pee pee. Eyes cannot open cause stick togather... blur blur..

Conclusion = A good structured condo normally might not feel any
weak tremors ( not earthquake da! ).

5 minutes later we heard someone keep blowing whistle near our
condo and saw a lot of people gathering at the car park of the
neighbour low cost flat. And I told fat lady, " Let's check it out !"

Fat Lady replied :" Is is necessary ?"

I replied :" Yes ! Precisely ! Nothing to loose !" ( Big O Mistake! )

5 minutes later we were closing the house door and our neighbour
were asking what went wrong with the wistle and all that.
And they were all preparing to "evacuate" for a reason that
they didn't know, just "evacuate" cause everyone was doing it !!

I said :" Well , tremors happened and we are chilling out !"

My neighbour Mr Khoo :" We didn't feel anything then?"

Anyway we took the lift and proceed to the ground floor, saw
the swimming pool water has some overflow like there was an
elephant which has jumped inside. And fat lady looked at me,
and I asked :" What? I didn't jump inside lah ! "

Hahahahahhaha

Our condo has a team of ISO ( Internal Security Officer ) and these
ISO were busy chasing everyone out from the condo compound like
the condo were going to collapse anytime like that. Damn !!
Luckily I did comb my hair and put some salive and made them look
nice, smile :)

Time = 12: 30 am.

The ISO guy announced that :

1. 8.2 scale earthquake happened at Sumatra.
2. We have to evacuate from condo just in case. ( in case what?)
3. Bukit Aman directed us to stay away from condo for 2 hour.
4. Somewhere in Malaysia some building has collapsed. ( my pants!)
5. Bla bla bla bla....

And these ISO guy made us stayed till 2:45 am before letting us
to go back. Block B, Block A and then Block C.
From 12:30 am to 2:30 am what do you guess that I've done?
Walked around those lousy people who were :

1. Chit chat and 38 here and 38 there.
2. Enjoying second hand smoke from others idiots.
3. Enjoying burger ( must eat at this kind of emergency meh? )
4. Enjoying feeding mosquito by hiding/ sitting at a dark corner.
5. Enjoying themselve by blocking traffic.
6. Enjoy their own body odor !! Smells a little bit up seting me.

We spent freaking 2 hours doing nothing to wait for the Pertahanan
Awam officer to arrive in their petrol car with fancy siren.

Then they ran a floor to floor check for structure damage & stuff like
that before letting us to go home.

1 4.7GB DVD ( 120minutes ) wasted for nothing.... Benci betul !!

End of story.

Some observation made :

1. People are slowly forgotten what are the purpose of whistle.
2. People came down from their place 90 minutes after fire alarm went off.
3. People has to smoke, no matter Tsunami or Earthquake or what.
4. People has to eat, no matter Tusenami or Earthquake or what.
5. There are a lot of unsung hero back there, why unsung? you know why. Cause everyone was cursing at them.
6. Alot of people wear funny funny sleeping custume and smells funny.
7. One Arab looking guy was wearing juban OMG !!
8. A lot of funny funny stuff.
9. Fat Lady cannot tahan standing for long time.
10. Fat Lady cannot tahan for not sleeping..

wee wee we wee we we Tremors? Next time if tremors happen will I come
down, chill out and investigave like this time? Yeah Right !!
So much for " Nothing to loose !"

Evacuate My Dick !!! Wasted 2 hours for nothing, no sleep, no
food ( i am on diet ) , no sex, no broadband, no TV , no beer,
nothing !! Next time if people ask me to evacuate I probably will
stuff my underwear into his mouth, kick his arse and then go back to sleep.

If there was a fire, I'd rather become a roasted suckling piglet.

Isn't that cute way to die?

Remco

Hungor ah !! Hungor !!

Today we will touch about :

Remco Van Der Wel
Ms Lim
Connie

Back to 1999 when DDT was established, it was a brand new factory
in dual tone grey ( dark grey and light grey ) colour. Now it still looked
grey :)

The staff were new, building was new, equipment was brand new
and we were manufacturing the CD-R at Silver Blue Technology from
8x to 12x when the production started.

It was fun working back there in DDT in sense of that time we see
there were "Boh Cheng Hu !" meaning that our boses were not
around most of the time. Mr. Jimmy Ho, Mr. Lim, Mr. Rafar, and
others are most of the time not around the factory.

Our half Germany half Dutch Engineer = Remco Van Der Wel was
a very funny man. he has millions of idea to share with us and
share a diffrent thought from local Malaysian. That's when east
vs west, most of the time :)

Ms.Lim and Connie, and the others bunch of our people were sent
to Germany for CD-R production and chemical training a few months
before 2000. Hence they carried the latest information / product
knowhow about the CD-R manufacturing process.

You know east and west culture and male and female, young vs
old always has diffrent opinion and direction most of the time.....

but...

One thing in common, when all of us were getting hungry. We would
point at our noses and shout loudly :" Boy ! I am hu ngor !!"

Hu Ngor = Hou Ngor ( Kantonis ) = Very Hungry !!

Till today whenever I am hungry but when I am hesitate to tell you
at your face that I am very hungry, and almost pengsan because
of the hunger. I would tell you that I am hungor !! hungor !!

Which I am feeling very strong now, I am hungor !! Help !!

Fart !!

Today we will learn :

1. Government denies everything.
2. Kukukechiao.
3. Nuclear explosion.
3. Planned = purposely.
4. Unplanned = not purposely.
5. Fat Lady

A few days ago I was reading this blog from Heaven and I pointed at nose and said to myself,
" Gei Tai Jiao Gei Tai , Fong Pei Jiao Fong Pei ler !"

After comparing what actually happening to myself and compared
to the handsome guy I
think I am a little bit luckier, cause handosome guy normally has
less luck while big O fat guy normally has more luck, baby luck that
is to be precisely.... err... no... I mean Babi Luck !!

In the blog, Michael had experianced :"I continued to drift further in my drunkenly love state, when suddenly, I heard something disturbingly disturbing. It's POOOOOT. A perfect POOOOT with all the correct tones and curves. I was dumbfucked. I felt romantic no more ... but was preparing for the worst by holding my breath (coz I can't fucking bail... she's still sleeping on my lap. I can't just flip her off irresponsibly). But there wasn't any nasty smell ... and I took a few test whiffs before allowing myself to breathe properly again. "

Compared to Michael, I was not the victim, and I didn't suffer at
all. The victim in my case was my gf, wah ah ha ha ha....
most of the time I call her my fat lady, but she is not that fat.
Is 55Kg fat? Not at all !! Not at all !! Just nice right?

Last night when I was sleeping, I woke up in the midnight and
1 feet away was my lady. I had a stomach up set and I thought
the whole world was sleeping that time.

So I aim my butt in the air, the mata dubur aimed at the moon
and "ppiiiaaakkk !!! " Holy Cow ! and my god ! Fat Lady was not
a sleep that time, i quickily pretend to be a sleep.

Atmosphere? Feels like rubbish truck loading rubbish which is
5 days old.

What fat lady did? She " aiyerrr !!!!!! " and used the pillow and
everything like that to cover her head and to keep herself away
from the Nuclear Cloud which was filling up our room.

Hmmm... air cond room !!!

Well, the innocent fat lady thought that I was asleep and the
Nuclear Rubbish Car Gas was an accidentl. That's why she didn't
chop of my kukukechiao, if she knew that I was awake and the
Nuclear Explosion was not an accident, I would be at The Star
frontpage , title = " A man without kukukechiao !!"

Well, I was trying so hard to pretend that I was asleep after the
Nuclear Explosion, and Fat Lady couldn't do anything cause if
it was an accident, she has no case........ so poor fat lady.

Well oh one more thing, I was having a flu and I can't smell and
can't feel anything.... sorry sayang ! !! Many sorry !!

But I still can't help to laugh till the tears come out today....

Man she is going to kill me or chop off the kkc when she finds
out the truth, well, I better deny everything, would I survive?
If this is the last blog that I ever write, then I didn't survive...
wah ha ah aha ha...

I was laughing all the way to work this morning...

So much for nuclear cloud and nuclear arm control....

The X-Files Season One

Back to year 1995, ( one of the best year of my life, so far ) I was in
form 5. Preparing myself for the SPM and the long and windy road
a head, everyday also worried about the SPM examinations only.

Exam years sucks!

Had not much of activities to do at small places like Kuala Krai, well
I suppose you could go =

1. Dancing ( at the Kuala Krai basketball court ?)
2. Clubbing ( Whops, no club at Kuala Krai )
3. Kara-Oking ( Yeah right Kara-Ok with my grandma? and there
was no Red Box or any Box like that )
4. Hunting ( sorry, no killing of animal allowed in my religion )
5. Mating ( oi ! crazy ah? pregnant how?)
6. Hibernating ( sleep till late morning on Friday <==Weekend )
7. Formating ( formating my friends 486 and Pentium 90 )
8. Installing ( installing Windows 95 <== In Diskette )
9. Re-formating ( Windows 95 didn't work well )
10. Re-installing ( Reinstall Windows 3.11 )

Well, it was quite boring sometimes, but on every Wednesday one
thing for sure was that we'll all disappear from Kara-OK, Club,
Mating , Hibernate cause we've had to watch

THE X-FILES !!

It always started at a dark night,
someone walk into the dark forrest or dark place of room,
and,
something or some shadow moved,
he/ she bacame panic,

Forensic examined the body,
Told the sherif / officer this is the strangest case,
Fox William "Spooky" Mulder appeared and said:" 1956 case re-run"
Dana S Scully said " Are you actually believing... bla bla bla.."

Then X-Files Music / Theme Played

You'll see the slogan " Government Denies Everything "
And at the end of the opening theme you'll see " The Truth Is Out
There !"

Well, that was how typically the show start, and compared to a
recent TV Series like CSI ( Gil Grissom ) , it was almost the same
procedure and stuff like that.

Well, why do we love it so much?

1. Fox Mulder was cute then.
2. Dana Scully was young then.
3. Alex Crycheck was innocent then.
4. Deep Throat was still around.
5. Walter S Skinner head was always shinning. He is handsome.
6. The standard FBI 1,000 lumince torch light. ( 3 kg at least )
7. Cigarrate Smoking man was still there.

All those char add up togather with the standard US slang was an
attraction to most of us.

Most of us back then could speak good English cause there was
no environment for us to do so. So what we did was after the
show, remember a few sentence and second day at school :

Me :" Hei Scully look at this dead cat body !"
Tan :" Mulder, i think some dog killed it !"
Me :" Let's run an autopsy on it and see !"
Tan :" Skinner is not going to happy if you run the autopsy in his room"
Me :" Ok let's do it in your room then !"
Tan :" Skinner's room is just fine, don't you think so?"

And after 1 year plus speaking using these slang we became pretty
good at it.

When we enrolled to TAR college in year 1996/1997 , to impressed
some girls, we actually spoke in US Slang and told the girls that
we were just back from US after taking Medic course.

Everybody bought our story. They really thought that we were
from the states.

Tan and Me in our heart :" Mission Accomplished !"

Besides in US Slang, were able to greet people in :

Acthung !
Argh Good Day Mate !
Oh Deer, what a horrable thing ?
Dee? Tambhi? How are you today dee? ( head twisting )

And one thing jack, I love English and Mandarin, do you?

Baywatch 1992

Back to year 1992, I was in Form 2 aged 15.

Everyday I cycled 5 km to school, come back from school another
5 km. Swim 5 hours a week and 2 hours of jogging per week.
Some people invented " Merentas Desa" country crossing was
killing our fat ass that time.

Imagine I was growing very strong with these work out everyday
during 1992 to 1996. I always tell people that 1992 to 1996 was
the best time of my life, indeed !!!

Back to 1992, nothing much on TV, I think we had Baywatch the
most important TV series to grow up with teen. Gee !! I was a
teenaged guy before too eh? Can't freaking believe it !!

Well, these are the advantages of watching Baywatch :=

1. You will make sure you've learnt how to swim.
2. You will make sure that you swim well !!
3. You'll learn dicipline.
4. You'll be interested to join Life Saving Society.
5. You'll be learning a lot of life saving technique.
6. You'll swim a lot, eat a lot ....
7. 10 years later, you don't swim a lot already.
8. 10 years later , you still eat a lot...
8. 10 years later, you get a relatively very large Philips cause all
eat and no swimming.

Well, last weekend Friday when I had nothing to do I sat down
at turned on the TV. Whoa ! Second season of Baywatch !!!
Ok so I sat down and watch, does this list ring a bell?

2. Whack 2 packs of nuts, 2 can of beers + 1 barrel of KFC.
3. Gain about 1 kg per hour.

Starry Starry Night ( Vincent )

It was 1998 when I was with my gf, both of us at Pantai Cinta
Barahi Kota Bharu. Were doing camping and camp fire there...

The night was romantic, the BBQ was superb, 1 bottle of wine,
some coffee at the camp fire and the aroma of the coffee, you
could even smell it from Terengganu beach...

The wind from the sea was strong and it was getting very cold
in midnight..... perfect !!! Hence we moved into our camp.

We were chatting in each others ears and talked about future,
as usual the wine works fast and both of us fall asleep really
fast.

4am ( My casio G-Shock Timed ) and I woke up, she was in my
arm and looked at me. I smiled and asked :" Did you sleep well?"
and I hugged her with both arm. (((((gf)))))) like that....

She said :" Vincent, I had a nice night and it's cold now !"
I replied :" Yeah, indeed!"

She asked :" Look ! Can you see the largest star in the sky?"
I looked up and replied :" Wow ! It's very bright and bautiful !!"

She asked :" Look ! Can you see the fisherman boat's light?"
I replied :" Ya ya ! It is beautiful from far far away !!"

She asked:" Oh look ! Our camp fire has no more blaze!"
I replied :" Yeah ! No wonder it is getting cold !!"

She asked: " Look ! Can you see the air plane taking off far away?"
I replied :" Yes dear, what are you trying to say?"


She replied :" Honey vincent, you can see all those because someone
has stolen our tent away !!! "

And she bitch slapped me twice on the head, piak piak !!
And it ain't romantic anymore nomore.

Cost of Wine = RM 125.00
Cost of BBQ = RM 80 .00
Cost of Camp = RM 100.00

Bitch Slap in 4am morning to Vincent head = Priceless !!!

Naza Ria V6 2.5 Special Edition Test Driven by Philips..Updated

Yesterday I had to go to Penang again to close a few sales. This
time my Proton Wira got spared and I drove an MPV to Penang.

It was a light blue colour Naza Ria 2.5 L with V6 Quad Cam don't
know what technology. 2.5 Litter engine + V6 generally has a
very powerful output.... the pick up was so strong that I'd have
to keep telling myself, "gentle...gentle...gentle..."

One heavy step on the gas might end up this Naza Ria with 4
legs in the sky, errr... I mean 4 tyre facing the sky in long kang.

The initial pick up is very strong and the air cond is also very
strong. A huge car like this get cold very fast at noon time :)
It has front and passenger air cond system which could be turned
on and off independently.

The dashboard arrangement was OK with me, automatic 4 speed
with Hold button ( like overdrive ) is possition at the left hand
side of the steering at the dashboard...time = 1:02 pm lunch time

At the overhead of front seats is the sky window. You can open it
and smoke in your car ( Warning ! Smoking is bad for health )
without opening the side windows.

Problem with the sky windows ( Chinese Direct Translation ) is that
bird shits and stuff like that tend to fell into your car if you
leave it opened for too long. And don't kiap your child's head
with it ok? These are not recommended by the car manufacturer.

Well the drive from Kuala Lumpur to Penang took us about 3.5 hours
and the drive was smooth and fast.

As I've mentioned the initial pickup power is very good, but at
the highway when going uphill or want to do sudden car overtaking
the response was not fast enough and consistent enough.

The engine RPM kept changing and the engine roared too loud.

Perhaps because this car is still too new, hence I did not perform
a "pijak minyak sampai lantai" method. To overtake car at fast
speed with this MPV you've better ensure that the distance is
sufficient & prepare yourself for some loud engine roaring.

Pressed the Hold button below the Automatic Gear Level button
with somehow lock the engine RPM at the current highest RPM
and keep supplying you the power that you might need. However
of course the car will "Oh Balad " if you do this too much.

Drining in huge auto trans car at high way has these advantages :

1. You could relax in the car. Space is sufficient.
2. You could drive cruising way.
3. You could watch in car DVD.
4. You could smoke in the car with the "sky windows" opened.
5. Feeling steady. Not like smaller car which feels floating.
6. You'll drive at 130 or 140 , and thought hmm... is it 90 only?
7. And many many more...

Now priced at RM110,000.00 ( approximately ) you could get one
and drive around too, couldn't you??

But bear in mind , currently petrol consumption is at below for
this large MPV :

City drive = RM 0.45 per km.
Highway = RM 0.25 per km.

Damn expensive, at least my Proton Wira could still do RM 0.10
or RM 0.11 at Highway now, petrol price = RM 1.42 per litter.
Proton Wira, Man Sui Man Sui Man Man Sui !!!

每一段情，每一句话

有时觉得自己好像是全世界最好运的人。。。。
但是必须记得，运气是会用完的，而且好运并不是天天都会有。
有些话在心里呆了好久好久，好辛苦，希望您们并不需要熬过
这种辛苦。

其实，每一段情，每一段轰轰烈烈的爱，都是最真最纯的。
当你对她说：“我爱你到永远！”时，你的心一定是这么想的。
当你对她说：“我永远只爱你一个人”时，也是那么想的。

但是后来情形改变了，人改变了，旧景不在了。希望您可以
了解和明白，在那一刹那所说的说答应的，并不是在骗您，
也不是说来哄您开心的。

希望有一天当您想起这句话时，您相信当时的话是真的。

每一段情，不管有没有开花结果，或者没有结果。或者有人
受伤，或者有人伤心。请将之不开心的忘掉，只留下美好的
回忆，记得他对您的好，忘掉他的不好。。。原谅他的不好。
应该会比较开心吧？

每一段情，不管有没有开花结果，或者没有结果。或者有人
受伤，或者有人伤心。都有所让你学习的地方，记得以后
不管有没有机会，都别犯同样的错误，千万不要再犯。
因为牺牲了感情来学习 和认识错误是世界上最痛苦最无奈
和最令人绝望的事情。记得别在一错再错。

要不然您就是已经白活了。明吗？白吗？

Could Malaysian Tourism Board do something about this? Please?

Operating System... loading !!

Last night after dinner, went to Tesco Mutiara Damansara to buy
some toilet paper. Yeah you heard me right, toilet paper !! cause
I was having dinner at Sushi King ( nothing special to make it King
actually, imho )

Before getting into the Hypermarket, I went to the ATM machine
situated at the left of the main entrance, well side by side we
could see Maybank ATM and RHB ATM... plenty of shopper withdrawing money there.. sure they were going to buy a lot of
Toilet Paper ... cause they withdraw a few hundred dollars each.

Well, wah finally my turn... "song!" take out wallet and take ATM
card with Smart Chip ( rm 8.00 charge per year WTF ) and insert
it to the RHB ATM... veryfying card... and please select language
and key in your Pin Number... ok ... ok my number was dut dut
dut dut dut dut .... Pin Accepted...

Then menu => Pressed Fast Cash or something like that...

Then suddenly.. puff........ whole screen gone... no screen, no
sound, no cash, no card, no breath , nothing... I looked at the
screen and pointed at it and said :" You don't kit kit kat kat ah!!"
but still no screen display & no cash & no card & nothing....

And I looked at the Maybank ATM at the left and same thing,
nothing displayed.... and I pointed at my nose and shouted
:" Gei tai jiao gei tai, mou power jiao mou power lah !!!!"

The electrical supply to both of the machines were cut off didn't
know triggered by what event. Became so blur mate !! ran to get
help while my friend stayed there at the machine... the maintainence guy finally arrived after 20 minutes and got into the
power room and reset or switched on the power or something like
that....

Then I told my friend:" Wah ! Don't tell me these ATMs are using
Windows XP ok already.... "

Then power resumed... both ATM Booting.... loading files...

RHB ATM ===== > IBM O/S 2 Wrap.... wah seh !
Maybank ATM = > Windows XP Professional .... 2 legs in sky !!
The files continue to load at start up and the Maybank's screen
event showed a mouse cursor.... 2 legs in sky again !!!!

The conclusion = no matter you are using O/S 2 or Windows XP
after you reboot, the ATM machine shows

:" Temporary Out of Service " end of story, hence I went to
borro money from my good friend to buy Toilet Paper and go home and well I suppose I could say basically I was laughing all the way
home.... bravo ! OS 2 wrap and Windows XP ( Professional Edition )
somemore.... pariah !! wah ha ha ha ha !!

Philips Defines Priceless!!

When I was a kid, and when I was watching those TV series and
movies, those pretty secretary always bring a cup of coffee or
tea or drinks to the boss whenever the boss arrives at the office
or when called upon.

I had a dream too, that is to have this kind of service to me,
whenever I want a drink, my secretary will bring the drinks to me
and , wah ! After that still help me to wash the cups & spoon until
dry dry clean clean ( gan gan jin jin ) all shining like that !!

The reality is that I am sitting in a big room called office, with 12
person sharing this room. No partition or whatsoever, and my
table is 2 x 4 feet, one of the smallest table in the office.

Secretary? You can forget about it !! Sometimes I even have to
work as a secretary to write down the sales meeting or any
business meeting minutes..... and my job? A sales manager kononnya......

This morning my cute Sales Coordinator first brought some cookies
to the office and offered them to be ( after I pooed of course )
and I took a few. Then later she asked me if I want to drink Milo !

Wow ! Dream come true !! Dream come true !!

I quickily replied :" Yes Milo please, I make for you ok? " < ===== Salesman talk , pretend to offer service wah ah ha ha...

Jessie replied :" It's ok Kai Hong, i'll make for you." <=== Soft ler !!

I replied :" Thank you !" <=== something missing -_-"??

Oh ! Hit Snake Follow Stick Up !! I added something after that by
saying :" Jessie, does the service includes washing the cups too?"

Jessie replied :" Yeah lah yeah lah !! " I could only see her white
eyes... eir !! damn ngeri !!!

So I drink drink drink with Perasaan yang teramat bahagia in my
heart and hmmmmm..... good and song !!!

After that after drinking Jessie really helped me to wash the cup
and spoon. Wah ! She really helped me up woh !! So I pointed at
my nose and shouted " Gei tai jiao gei tai ! Milo jiao milo lah !"

and asked her, " Jessie, can you please fill up the cup with cold
drinking water after you clean my cup please?" I am very good at
Hit Snake Follow Stick Up one !! Sales person mar !!

She showed me the white eyes again , but 3 minutes later a clean
cup with full of cold drinking water was infront of me.....

This is what I called ... Priceless !!

You may be rich and could hire someone to do it for you, and you
could even force people for you. But when someone is doing these
for you out of courtesy, that is really priceless....

Thank you !! Jessielinggem ... errr... I mean Jessie !!

And.... oh ! I think this would be my lucky day too !!

Philips'sonehellofpoo!!gdi!!

Last night I was waiting for my boss to call me for dinner cause he
did make a reservation on my dinner time ( I could be reserved yes ).
However during a call at 10:45 pm he informed me that it was too
late for supper or dinner, hence called it off.

Well, I was very hungry back then. Breakfast = Nestum, Lunch =
1 small plate vegetable rice + chicken curry. Hence by actually
8 or 9 pm my band has started to play Negaraku and Perutaku
already..... oh laparnya !!

Well, since appointment is cancelled, well there is always a
secondary plan always. A good sales person always has the following
plan B :

1. Secondary sales plan.
2. Secondary sales strategy.
3. Secondary dinner plan.
4. Secondary girl friend plan <=== Errr... no more lar now :)
5. Secondary route when driving.
6. Secondary car standy <===== Errr.. not yet, cause poor :)
7. Secondary income <======== Err... looking for it now, anyone?
8. Secondary education <====== Yeah ! Me Form 3 only !!
9. Secondary mission statement <== As usual, two head snakes!!
10. Secondary key customer <==== As usual, two head snakes !!

Well, since I had a plan B or secondary plan, I called my gf and
pretend to ask her out for supper. I said :" Wah wished to see you
tonight very much, missed you so much !" <=== Salesman talk !

So she agreed for a quick dinner ( I learned that she had Maggie
for dinner just now ) and we went to Bandar Baru Ampang for some
food.

Food ordered :

Hokkien Mee + Pork + Vege + Sotong + Shrimp + Pork Oil Zha !!
Fried Andy Lau + Aeron Kwok + Jacky Cheong + Leon Lai !!
Apple Juice ( No sugar + little salt )

The taste? Hmmm Hokkien Mee was perfect, Fried 4 Big Sky King
was perfect too.... but the Apple Juice was.... eerrr. tasteless ...

Hokkien Mee <=== RM 8.00
Friend Vege <=== RM 6.00
Apple Juic <==== RM 1.60

Satisfaction <=== Priceless !!!

Well we ordered the food for 2 person, but wah I tell you the
Hokkien Mee could be shared with 3 person and my gf ate only
a little bit. Hence after I finished all -_-" <=== Too Full !!

And when reached home, sleep like a pig !!

Satisfaction <=== Priceless !!!

This morning woke up and came to office, suddenly the feeling
of pooing came out of nowhere suddenly. Actually the feeling
came when I was on the road, gdi ! luckily the traffic was smooth
and I arrived at office early, 7 something..... then I terus go in
and start pooing...... to poo in morning is good according to some
medical researcher... it allow your stomach to be emptied and
prepared to fill up something more useful, like food !!

After the poo finished, I looked at it and Holy Cow !! Must be 3
Kg of it ! Consisted of a lot of stuff..... and I think you wouldn't
want to know, or do you??? popopopopo !!!

The problem is that when comes to flushing, the poo wouldn't
go away, ok fine, second flush... alamak !! the poo's family is
still there, the cousin of the poo still smiling at me !! Holy Cow !!
Fine, flush again.... Alamak !!... now the little poo's son was there
looking at me, floating and everything..... !!! Errr... wait wait !!
Covered it with some toilet paper and flush again !! Mah G Y !!!
Still there after the flush !!! ok more paper !!! more paper !!!

And flushed..... aha !! Finally all gone, it was 6 minutes later my
mate !!

Must have used 10 litre's of fresh water this morning, can't imagine
if I were to live in the dessert or a place without much water.
I will suffer a lot....

Hence, to get to born in Malaysia <====== Priceless !!!

And all the poo & poo cousins & poo family member can laugh all
the way to indah water treatment area now..... family reunion !!!

And me? A bit tired in the office cause overworked my arse probably

Have a little courtesy, will you please?

It's 9:08 pm of 3rd March 2005. Thursday and the weather is still warm
and no sign of cool air / weather. Warm weather makes people feel
hot ( what a rubbish sentence!?? ) and when people feel hot they
get sweaty. When people sweat, the mood changes cause sweat
is easy, sticky, wet sometime smelly !! he he he !!

We've read and saw a lot of murder cases in the news paper and
perhaps there were also some cases which didn't make it to the
national newspaper too. I think most of it is cause?

[一念天堂，一念地狱。] 这句话来自《大只佬》这部电影......

绝对同意 [一念天堂，一念地狱] 的说法，有很多时候是人们一时不能控制
自己而作出了了让自己后悔一生的事情。

拿驾车来说，好多人并不能好好的享受驾车的乐趣，反而喊打喊杀，绝对
不可让你的车超过他。这种人，往往会为了你超过他而追你 20 公里
然后给你一个中指，哪！然后他才满面甘愿的得意洋洋的超过你。

你若回应他的中指，那我觉得您的人品也不会太好吧？但如果你回应的
话酒会开戏了。最后，一个给巴冷刀劈死，一个两年后谋杀罪名成立，
判处死刑， 哪还不是两败俱伤吗？ 很傻叻！

想象看从此世界就多了两个孤魂野鬼还有寡妇和单亲孩子。。。。

想一想看值得吗？一念天堂，一念地狱。。。

A hot and warm weather is not a reason for being mean &
allow you to drive like your mama own the road.

Top 10 mistake Malaysian Drivers Do On the Road :

1. Cut queue
2. Running red lights
3. No safety belts
4. No signal given before turning
5. Over slow drivng at fast lane
6. Over fast driving at slow lane
7. Use handphone ( lost focus )
8. Smoking ( lost focus )
9. Abuse emergency lane
10. Throwing rubbish out of car.

The top 1 to 9 mistake and bad habits could get the driver
and the love one killed in a split second. Why are there so
many people still doing that out there? I don't get it !!

This time I can't laugh all the way home, you know why?
Cause I am at home now and I can't laugh thinking of these
idiots..... really !!

Philips in Penang III

Pringin Mall
Jalan Penang
Sunway Hotel Georgetown
Tanjong Tokong
Expensive Condo at Gurney Drive

Well after visiting Seberang Prai we came back the Island via the
bridge, "ka-ching!" RM7.00 donated to the bridge operator !!
RM7.00 for 13.5 km = RM0.518518 per km.... not cheap !!

Arrived at Georgetown and proceeded to Jalan Penang and went
into a small old shop for the Cendol & Friend Kuey Tiao... hmmm.!!
Lovely !! Lovely !! Lovely !!
But the Penang Laksa there = So So and the Popiah = Failed !!
Wah ha ha ha ha .... William came out and goyang kepala all the
way to hotel.

After the makaning we checked in at Sunway Hotel which
has the Broadband Internet facilities... RM165 per room for this
new E-services.... not bad I guess :)

Time = 2:45 when we checked in at Sunway hotel but the staff
told us that we have to wait for about 15 minutes. Reason? Cause
the previous guest has done a late check out !!! WTF William was
jumping cause by 3:00pm the room was still not ready.
What kind of service is this? What a bad way to start a day !!

Well, 20 minutes later we met at the hotel lobby again and waiting
to go to "Jalan Jalan Cari Makan" Well actually went to Pringin Mall
and had a walk there. The Pirates activity and IT activities there
are really not bad !! And our local Penang friend told us that
Pringin Mall has becoming one of the most happening place in
Georgetown , I think the reason would be :

1. Easy access, good traffic flow.
2. Good location at the heart of City.
3. Next to Komtar (tallest building) can see it from even Indonesia.
4. Good car park ( have to revolved like hell -_-" though)
5. Good view from car park.
6. A lot of food available in the mall.
7. A lot of cheap books in the mall.
8. Plenty of IT Shops there.
9. Alot of SYT there... hmmm... hmmmm *_*
10. Cheap CD-Rom and DVD-Rom.

Oh yeah I have to mention this, well we went and wanted to
purchase a few DVD tittle at the mall, and upon checking with the
sales person there, their reply are as below :

" This one Kung Fu is clear and crispy ! Can buy !"
" This one cinema version ! No good !"
" This one 90% clear only ! Don't buy first !"
" This one not too clear, but can see also !"

WTF? Let me tell you that among all the Uncle Ho's staff, those
person in Penang seems to be the most polite and sincere !!

Try to ask if how is the quality of the DVD-Rom in KL or PJ or even
in Hong Kong and all you will get is
" Clear ! sure clear !"
" Clear ! Master copy !" and all these rubbish ! And end of the day
you go home you will see alot of cinema head at the screen !!

So, both William and Me are really happy to have seen all these
polite chaps giving good solution to us :)

And on the way back we purchased a few book by Chai Lan, the
Hong Kong writters who write about traveling, making movie, eating
and womens :) waha ha haha ....
Even the books are pirated version = RM 4.50 each !! Holy Cow !!

See why I like Penang?

Well, later of the day we went for the best crab & shrimp & sotong
in town at Tanjung Tokong. Well it was good, cheap and !! Yummy
I am already a regular customer there mate !! Ate so much that
the colestrol from my body purged into my eyes and ears...
that night, I see nothing and hear nothing.... just the taste of
crabs and shrimps in my mouth.... yummy !!!

On the way back to hotel we passed through Gurney Drive and
saw all those expensive apartment there. Once my customer told
me that some of the apartment are very expensive, my customer
Mr. Ong & my conversation :

" Look this one, RM 1.6 million each" he pointed at one of it.
" Hmm? RM 160,000 not expensive what? " I mumbled.
" No ! RM 1,600,000 ... " Mr. Ong repeated.
" -_-"" WTF? " 1.6 million for a freaking condo? " I asked.
" yes" Mr. Ong
" Sehr kostspielig " and I did two legs in the sky in car !! Proton Waja !!

Well, now see? I told you that the properties in Penang is very
very expensive one! But you wouldn't listen !! Nah nah nah !!
